Data Recorded by Apple Watch became The Key Of Murder Cases

Caroline admitted she was tied up in the kitchen and the door was locked. But data data at Apple Watch shows the time span when the victim is attacked to death is about seven minutes.

Based on this data Caroline allegedly as the perpetrator who broke into the house, and killed her father-in-law. According to Carmen Matteo, the prosecutor who handles the case, Apple Watch is being subjected to Myrna became an important evidence after some analysis was done on the data recorded in the device.
